The Song of Jesse

📖 The Scoop

A young man, Jesse, finds himself an enigma in his own household as his parentage is questioned. He matures and is eventually caught up in a struggle between two worlds, the world pressed upon him by his mother and foster father and the world from which he came--a world he knows little about but one that demands his attention.

The quandary becomes more acute as he develops physically, emotionally and is asked to give additional hours to help his foster father in his home construction enterprise. He also comes head-to-head with another trauma, matching wits with a vivaciously pretty young girl, intent on furthering her father's giant building firm at the expense of squashing the smaller business his foster father has developed.

Finally, the young man's inner strength takes over, and he resolves to satisfy the demands of both worlds. How he succeeds in doing so could, in effect, fill a volume of books and still not do justice to the feat. That is another enigma the reader must resolve for himself, herself. Find the answer, as did Jesse.
